Compare the atomic sizes of sodium and magnesium. Explain. ​

Chemistry
1 answer:

5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Sodium atom is larger than Magnesium atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Looking at the electronic configurations of Sodium and Magnesium:

_{11}Na: 1s^2 2s^2 p^6 3s^1\\\\_{12}Mg : 1s^2 2s^2 p^6 3s^2 ,

we can see that they both have their valence electrons in the 3rd shell.

But because Magnesium has a higher nuclear charge of +12 because of its 12 protons than that of Sodium's +11, the nucleus of Magnesium attracts its outer electrons more strongly than Sodium does. This makes the Magnesium atom smaller.

If you are pushing a shopping cart and you start pushing harder , what happens?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
The kinetic energy of the shopping cart increases. This speeds up the energy rate of friction between the wheel and the floor giving off more kinetic energy so the speed rate can increase (depending on how much your pushing it) Hope this helps :)

Why does the flame go out on the Bunsen burner when the gas is turned off? (use the collision theory in your answer)
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well the gas is the fuel for the flame of course. The collision theory comes into play when the gas turns on, chemicals collide with one another. Then  reactions occur causing the flame. Then when you take away the fuel, the flame stops because there is no atoms or molecules to come together/collide with one another.

Sorry if its wrong or doesn't make sense... Wish you the best of luck on whatever your doing!

17. If 5.00 L of an ideal gas is cooled from 24°C to - 27000
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

V₂ = 448.44 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 5.00 L

Initial temperature = 24°C

Final volume = ?

Final temperature = -27000°C

Solution:

Final temperature = -27000 + 273 = 26727 K

Initial temperature = 24 +273 = 297 K

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 5.00 L × 26727 K / 297 k

V₂ = 133635 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 448.44 L
